Hi! I’m Ryan and I’m rather a novice when it comes to typewriter collecting. I have been interested in typewriters since I was in my early teens. My collection first started with a 1949 Smith Corona Silent my grandfather got me for $5 from a yard sale. I then added a 1982 Sears The Electric 2 to my collection. My next finds were a 1949 Underwood Champion, 1953 Royal Quiet De Luxe, and a 1950 Remington All-New. My next finds were a set of Smith Coronas, a 1970 Sterling and a 1969 Electra 120. After that, my next find was a 1965 Royal Safari. My previous find was a 1975 Smith Corona (Ghia Designed) Super G. My latest find is a 1951 Smith Corona Skyriter.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Sterling on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Sterling By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
